I note there isn’t much on Kiwix in terms of survival/post-apocalype collections (just a few TED talks and YouTube videos): a low-hanging fruit ripe for the picking.
Maybe someone should make an EA related collection and upload it to Kiwix? (Best books, EA Forum, AI Alignment Forum, LessWrong, SSC/ACX etc). This might be a good way of 80/20-ing preserving valuable information. As a bonus, people can easily and cheaply bury old phones with the info on, along with solar/hand-crank chargers.
All of wikipedia is just 20GB.
Maybe there could be an way to share backups via Bittorrent or an ‘offline version’ of it… it would fit comfortably on most modern smartphones.
Digital solutions are not great because ideally you want something that can survive centuries or at least decades.
But offline USBs in prominent + safe locations might still be a good first step anyway.
I’ve got a full version of the English Wikipedia, complete with images, on my phone (86GB). It’s very easy to get using the Kiwix app.
